Anywhoo. We went to Lowe's Friday night and picked up our lovely shade of green for Jimmy-John's room and we painted all day Saturday. Bryer was not that thrilled of course because we put up the baby gate so he could not be in the room with us. We knew that if he was in the room while we were painting that he would have eaten half a gallon of paint and liked the all the wet paint off the walls! The fact that he couldn't be in there with us just shredded his nerves! He also did not get to help Craig put the crib together, which killed him even more! As of now, we have the nursery painted, the crib assembled and the rocking chair in place. We are going to add some pictures and another cube thing to put a lamp and pictures on with some more storage, too! It's getting there - we have 11 more weeks until the arrival and I'm sure that will go by very quickly! I cannot wait to get it finished!
Here are a few pictures of the process (potential for picture overload - you know how I get):
Started out Friday by taping!
Before!
Before!
Stirring the paint, getting ready for coat #1!
He really wanted to help!
The beginning of coat #1!
Coat #1 = FINISHED!
Time for coat #2! Don't you love my shorts?
Painting = FINISHED! :D
That was exhausting!
Opening the crib box!
Step #1 - building the drawers. Craig says this was the hardest part!
He still REALLY wants to help!
The changing table is coming together!
Changing table = FINISHED!
I was downstairs doing dishes and when I came up to check on progress, this is what I saw!
As finished as it's going to be for now!
The crib!
The rocking chair!
The room is all the same shade of green - it just depends on the light and where I was standing when I took the picture as to what the shade looked like!
